My Felt Craft Illustration

Actually I am not an illustrator, although I like drawing, painting and making sketch.I am a mom .. a lecturer.. and a crafter.

But then, i decided to become an illustrator for my own book - children book-. The only reason I had was I love crafting and I had dreamed that every single of my book should be illustrated in a crafty way. So, I have no other choice than making all of it my self. I still cant find a partner on this .

And you know what?

It wasn't easy at all :D It takes times, consumes a lot of energy. started from making pattern, apply it on fabric, sewing every details, and take a picture of it. Totally different from digital illustration.it takes a lot of energy.. but.. it give so much satisfaction when its all done ^^

It is always be my desire to make felt illustration more popular. Not only felt actually but also all of craft such asfelt applique, paper collage, plasticine and so on.

i hope -in the future- will be my own speciality : craft illustration ^^

"If I are asked by Ms. Dini to give her inspirations, what's is my favorite childhood story / stories ? "

I would answer it was Aladin and the magic lamp, beside the beautiful, thrilling, and sad stories it also contain many educational n morality value in life, so the reader especially the children will learn about braveness and honour.

It would be great if Ms. Dini could make such a story in her felt creations.

LOVE.LOVE,LOVE and try to illustrate my children s books like You.Its a beautiful day for me TODAY,because I first time see Your blog.I will try and show to You.Felt is more expensive in Serbia or its no expensive but we will have little money for our work :( but I DO IT ! :))) Lot kisses from Serbia,Calehttp://creativacale.blogspot.com
